The ugly truth
Somebody has to wave the BS flag!!
AK47 are not great guns.
They are
simple, heavy, inaccurate shoddy made lead sprayers. The KISS principle taken to far. The fact that any simpleton can pick one up and "run it" is not a really saying much about the operater.
AKs worked well in the soviet battle plan because they put no value on human life.
Made by underpaid soviet "workers" for any thug willing to pony up $17.50 or basing rights to CCCP. Does anybody remember Uncle Joe?
These are the same folk that issue one rifle to 3 solders and told the other 2 wait till guy the rifle was killed then pick up his rifle and fight on.:banghead:
Compare the AK47, "the 47 stands for 1947" with our 1930s garand, or 1950s m14 and ask your self which country valued there solders more?
If the Army's first issuing of M16 in Vietnam had not been such a major "Cluster fudge"
The lore of AK47 would be seen for what it really was. Radio Moscow BS.
If you want a "real" AK47 get the cheapest stamped one you can find and go shoot watermelons.
Just don't think about the millions of people that have been killed with them and the untold millions that have been oppressed by them.
